Dave Desmelik Unheard Of CD

  This is rich, textural music that feels good to listen to and I love it!"-Senior Product Manager, Microsoft Windows"I think the [Pop Is Art] CD is really good, and unlike a lot of stuff that's coming out of today's pop underground because [Scott's] sound retains the kind of style and infectiousness that was in existence on a lot of those great late '70s albums." -David Bash: Founder/CEO International Pop OverthrowOne of the best things I've heard in a LONG TIME! ....a GEM!-Steve Turnidge; Ultraviolet Studios"Scott has a command of the pop idiom like few others. He seems to swallow records whole, let them mix around in his system, and spit out completely fresh interpretations of classic pop elements. Whether as a singer, songwriter, producer or instrumentalist, his control of the art at the heart of the music is masterful." -Clay Farmer (Producer, A&R Imago records)'Pop Is Art is going to set the power pop world afire! this is about as classic of indie power pop as you are going to find' -Bruce Brodeen: Not Lame RecordingsI'm going to say, here and now, even before you've dotted the "i" and crossed the "t" in "Hit" that this is going to be one of the biggest pop releases of the year... a masterpiece! .... not to mention an album's worth of simply superb songs that must be heard. Bravo!-Alan Haber Pure Pop RadioI can hear the painstaking details that are SO lovingly delivered on this amazing CD!!

By the age of twelve, he taught himself how to play guitar and formed his first band, along with his brother Habib and their friend "Full House" actor, John Stamos. At the young age of 20, already an accomplished pianist and guitarist, Philip found himself on the road backing the legendary surf duo, Jan and Dean as their bassist and backup vocalist. Consequently, Mike Love of the legendary Beach Boys, hired Philip to serve as lead guitarist and vocalist in his Endless Summer Beach Band. By the time he was 25, Philip teamed up with Peter Criss and Ace Frehley of KISS fronting Peter's band "CRISS" as lead singer and rhythm guitarist after a friend suggested that he audition for the position.

It was after serving this role for two years that Philip discovered that he felt a void just singing and playing music for the sole purpose of entertainment and began attending Saddleback Church in Orange County, CA in search of a new purpose for his life. After awhile, he was asked to audition for the praise team, and by the grace of God, he was asked to join the praise team and began serving regularly as a vocalist and musician. This led to his acceptance of Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. 'I came to Christ by worshipping Him through song. He entered my heart through my praise and worship of Him and my life was changed forever.

' Philip had found a new passion in serving The Lord, but continued in his career as a professional musician. Eventually, Philip befriended Beach Boy, Carl Wilson, when Carl heard him sing at a birthday party for Beach Boy frontman, Mike Love. It was there that Philip's voice caught Carl's attention and prompted Carl to call on Philip to sing his parts as a member of the Beach Boys touring band when he became stricken with cancer. After Carl's passing in 1996, Philip continued in his role as lead guitarist and vocalist for the Beach Boys until 2001 when he left the band to write and record his own music and pursue other endeavors.
